The development of internal audit has been implemented by means of a quality provision and improvement programme. Its purpose is to ensure to all the interested parties that operation of the internal audit is in compliance with the applicable rules of the profession and that its operation is successful and efficient.

April 2020 the external assessment of the Corporate Governance Statement of Luka Koper, d. d. for the year 2019 in accordance with Article 5.7. of the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code. External assessment is not considered to be an assurance service performed by accounting professionals who are publicly mandated (auditors) or non-publicly accounted professionals (e.g. internal auditors). As an external independent reference institution that is not a provider of audit services in the Company and is not related to it, we have reviewed all the components of the Corporate Governance Statement, their adequacy in relation to Article 70 (5) of the Companies Act and assessed whether they adequately described the management of the company as shown in relevant company documents. This review also included a review of the selected reference codes and declarations of compliance with the reference codes that the Company pursues. An external assessment report was prepared in connection with the external assessment of the Corporate Governance Statement, which was forwarded to the Company's Management Board and the Supervisory Board for information.
Slovenian Directors' Association declares that the Corporate Governance Statement in the Annual Report of Luka Koper d. d., for 2019 contains all the necessary legal components and that its contents adequately describe the management of the Company as evidenced by the obtained Company documents.
